We are seeking to establish a pool of Program Coordinator - Student Services for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2025 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
Butler College opened in January 2013 as an inclusive public school for secondary students in Perth's northern suburbs. The College values are at the heart of our culture: Knowledge, Integrity and Respect.
Since 2020, our Senior Secondary students have performed exceptionally well in ATAR courses, with our average median ATAR just below 80 and above comparable schools. In recent years, numerous students have won awards from the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA), including Subject Certificates of Excellence, Subject Exhibition, Certificates of Distinction and Certificates of Merit. Our ATAR pathway is complemented by our General and VET pathways. We deliver Hospitality, Engineering and Sports Coaching certificate qualifications onsite and work closely with other providers to ensure our students have access to the full suite of VET Delivered to Secondary Students (VETDSS) opportunities.
A key aspect of Butler College is our endorsed Education Support Program. Our facility supports 80 students with special educational and medical needs. Our facilities include a hydrotherapy pool and a range of sensory spaces. As an integrated site, our students benefit from high levels of expertise and support and the ability to integrate with other students where appropriate.
